Bonnie sky day ....

5th January 2021 (Tuesday)     08.30      ‘My word .... it was wet bleak when


I first looked out so I had a shower:    it was still bleak when I looked out after having a shower.     I’m thinking of hibernating today, which is going to be overcast with sleet showers and going straight to Wednesday   .... ‘sunny with a light breeze’.   It’s raining just now so no beach at sunrise time this morning.    Having said that the sky should begin to clear soon  and give us a few blue patches, so it’s not all doom and gloom:  there might even be a sunny spell or two.    I’m still feeling romantic.....! 

17.00    I had a funny dream last night;   it wisnae ‘funny’, as in laughable.... just queer.   The dream: ..... my car had rolled down and bumped into the boot of the car in front.... but in the end it was the car behind me that had rolled down and burst open my boot revealing an untidy car boot.  (Note to me;  must tidy up the boot).    Anyway, it woke me up and I couldn’t get back to sleep so ended up reading my book, at 03.00 in the morning;   and feeling tired all day today.   Did fall asleep in front of the tele in the afternoon (nae surprise there), but I’m looking for a good night’s sleep tonight.


In the morning I’d taken the car along to Elie to pick up the paper (I’m falling out with the Scotsman) and go to the surgery to pick up a sample bottle.    My annual hypertension appointment is still on for tomorrow.    My BP is not quite through the roof but somewhere among the rafters.   (I have one of those machines for reading BP).... e.g this morning’s reading was 153/90.  

After not watching the tele I thought I’d better go to the beach for a wee bit exercise;    I’d only reached the beach when a shower bumbled its way over.   I’ve not had the best of luck today:  I shall definitely remember to have my Horlicks at bedtime (I forgot last night).

21.30   The forecast is excellent for tomorrow.... sunny with a light West wind, but cold. 


   The only thing I have on tomorrow is the BP appointment at the surgery.    I should get out sometime in the middle of the day.... when the sun will be at it’s warmest.

I’ve had my Horlicks and am looking forward to a good (and unbroken) night’s sleep.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and f...

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
